Graphics glitch?

Since technical support seemed to imply they only wanted questions and not bug reports, I thought I'd post here. Please tell me to repost to another part of the forum if this isn't a good place to post it.

Came across this whilst in space:

Seemed strange as it was stationary and that Viper couldn't see it. So I quit and reloaded and it wasn't there. I assume it's a graphics glitch and not an ingame entity, but just thought I'd be sure.

Thought I'd just mention it.

Has anyone else experienced this??

Cheers guys, LF

Are you talking about the ship or the Nebulae?
The ship could be a left over image packet that was not updated yet, and as soon as you left and came back it was gone because the game updated the image packet!....

He's referring to the 'rain' effect in open space. He said he could see it all around him, but I sat beside him and couldn't see a thing. Looking at it on the screenshot, it looks to be the rain effect you would normally encounter on planets.

That could still be a packet update issue to if he had just been to a planet with rain with that pilot profile! or could be the moving through space packet update issue;)

"Rain in Space" - now that IS cool! Can you mine it?

Did it have any rain sound?

It could be cosmic dust, or the left over bits from my packet of crisps I emptied out of the ship window.

Shame on you!

(it's a waste of the bits!)
